My day in the life of capitalism

[Authentic Nouveau]

I work at a major public university. I hear college students saying things like this all the time. Talking about how oppressed they are, how awful capitalism is, all while checking out their iPhones, listening to music on their air pods, walking around in expensive clothes, enjoying a Starbucks coffee, and driving home on the weekends in their Audis and Mini Coopers and Priuses.

Yeah, capitalism sucks.

$168 for nice jeans with holes in them.

You're buying a boat propeller and complaining about capitalism while 3/4 of the people in the world are starving? You're become as ridiculous as vibise

Starving. Per Capita annual income Korea Norte is $1,288. Socialism.

I install a fresh sacrificial anode on my prop shaft and polish my bronze folding prop on my sailboat before using a crane to launch our boat in March.

The replacement prop will run about 700 dollars. The prop folded has little drag. It will have corrosion/pitting without the cheap 10 dollar anode protection. On Google Maps, I can't see any yacht clubs in Korea Norte.

The poster who started this thread has an unhealthy hated of capitalism that leads to delusional thinking.

Greedy and lazy. They just know the rich have money for them they won't need to work for.

What you need is a government handout, to provide for your recreational expenses.

Or MAYBE an affordable cost of living?

Under your socialism, the State is the monoply since they own all the means of production

In my socialism the bunk would have costed $15 or LESS everywhere I went, and the same goes for the propeller. Under $100 EWERYWHERE

Factories sign up exclusive contracts all the time and can decide to NOT sell retail.

Not even wholesale companies can by direct.

You can't buy a car factory direct. They set up dealers to sell and service.

Yup. Middle men which significantly increase price of the vehicles.

You can buy a cow and get milk factory direct.

Gibberish.

You own a personal boat/leisure craft, and you're bitching about capitalism?

Yes! As if they didnt own pleasure crafts in socialism or communism. .

I bought brand new. So far the alignment is screwed, went through 6 set of tires in 2 years. The bulbs on trailer lights keep burning out, they said it was submergible and its not.( Had to change them).

The fish finder didnt work and they said they had to charge me $300 just to test drive it. I said test drive what? ,It doesn't work, so I had to send a video of the defective fish finder.

The motor doesn't properly tilt. Brought it in 1 month, they returned it? Same problem. after they said they fixed it.

Its been 2 years and they keep saying customer service will return my calls. Nada.

They will chase you down, but once they get your money they disappear. and concentrate on nagging the next guy for a sale.

So ya capitalism sucks, since in socialism, they would have better customer service because its not profit driven.

Have you checked out Piranha propellers? They're less expensive and are a composite. Or even aftermarket propellers?

inexpensive boat propellers - Google Search

www.google.com

I settled for used. Its only a spare prop anyways. While my other Prop gets repaired

Under Socialism it's not his boat. It's ours.

That's communism. Socialism allows private property, just not private industry,

You should go ahead and move to Cuba, Venezuela, or one of the other really nice socialist/communist countries. Life there is good I bet

I'll stay in the good Ol' USA...

We will see how much you like capitalism when your currency is no longer the default currency and does a nose dive.

Why don't you buy a new boat imported from a Socialist factory?

That's incorrect.

You don't own anything in communism, my clueless dude.
IIno such thing as private property in that system.

I bought brand new. So far the alignment is screwed, went through 6 set of tires in 2 years. The bulbs on trailer lights keep burning out, they said it was submergible and its not.( Had to change them).

So again you were able to attain the wealth to own a private pleasure craft, and now you're batching about capitalism. How ungrateful.

Post the name of one boat motor brand built by a state owned socialist company.

If you own a boat you are well off.
